After we closed out my unit they moved me to unit 3 because one of the other girls was not feeling well. We got to 188 cm down into the joke before we ht the base of a huarango post and had to finish excavations because of safety hazards. We mapped that unit today and then took final pictures of the unit. We are officially done and tomorrow is the last day in the field. Today we back filled all of the units. The operation of hints that included both of the units I worked in took the longest to fill in. Backfilling is definitely not my favorite thing to do. It was a lot of work and some people could not handle the load which meant more work for the rest of us. On the bright side I got a good workout and even worked up a good sweat. Alison and I have been running everyday so I have been sleeping very well and been very hungry. The food at the restaurant we eat at every night The Huarango is very good and I generally finish the whole plate. Dinner is a little bit late because we get up at 5 in the morning but that is the culture here. Dinner is not until at least 7 but usually it is worth the wait. I am kind of missing Mexican food though. Tomorrow we will do surface collections and it will be our final day in the field. After that we will have one week left in Nasca where we will try and finish up lab work and then we will be headed back to Lima. Hopefully I will be able to post some pictures soon. Until next time.
